  1. 1. Utilisation of hardwood in cross-laminated timber - A numerical study on vibrations in floors

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Byggnadsmekanik; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper

    Author : Johannes Jonasson; Olle Karlsson; [2022]
    Keywords : hardwood; birch; beech; clt; cross-laminated timber; vibrations; floors; footfall; accelerations; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product consisting of several layers of laminations bonded together with adhesives. In contrast to heavier construction materials, timber and other lightweight building materials are more prone to serviceability issues due to vibrations. READ MORE

  3. 2. Mechanical Properties of Calcium Phosphate and Additively Manufactured Titanium Alloy for Composite Spinal Implants

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Josephine Lantz; [2021]
    Keywords : calcium phosphate; titanium; spinal implant; tensile testing; compression tests; 4-point-bending; finite element analysis; topology optimisation;

    Abstract : One of the major health problems in western societies is back pain, with a prevalence rate of 49%–80%. In many cases, the back pain is due to degenerated discs. The gold standard to treat a severely degenerated disc is spinal fusion, where the vertebral disc is replaced with a cage structure. READ MORE

  4. 3. Timber Concrete Composite floors with Cross Laminated Timber - Structural behavior & Design

    Abstract : På grund av den ökade miljö- och klimatmedvetenheten har övergången till förnybara material påskyndats, och detsamma gäller intresset för träbyggande. Med att bygga högt i trä kommer dock ett flertal konstruktionsmässiga utmaningar, där en av utmaningarna är dynamik på grund av träets låga egenvikt jämfört med andra mer konventionella byggnadsmaterial.
